I don't have a choice
After listening to Yu Siqi's narration, Albert muttered to himself, "That's all right..."
Then, he nodded in satisfaction, and then explained to Yu Siqi the origin of this 'Lord of the Yellow Sand'.
"Speaking of which, this 'Lord of the Yellow Sand' still has some connection with you."
Before the official start, Albert smiled at Siqi and mentioned this sentence that would obviously make the latter look dazed.
Without any response from Siqi, Albert continued: "He has a brother named 'Lord of Time', you will not be a stranger. ”
"Of course I'm not a stranger, after all, I borrowed my ability from him."
Yu Siqi recalled the encounter at sea almost the moment Albert mentioned that 'title'.
"I was able to borrow power from the outer gods, and it seems that the relationship between you is really much closer than I imagined!"
Albert looked a little envious.
"What is an outer god?"
Yu Siqi asked subconsciously.
"Wouldn't you, you don't even know what an outer god is?"
Albert asked a rhetorical question, and after seeing Yu Siqi's 'believe it or not' expression, he added some words: "It's hard to imagine that the priest didn't give you this kind of basic knowledge. ”
"I was also a little surprised. But could it be because I didn't mention it to the priest? ”
Yu Siqi still tried to excuse the priest's 'inaction'.
"I don't think so. Because even if you haven't mentioned anything about the 'Lord of Time' to the priest, then he should have done a proper education to you after meeting the 'Lord of the Sands'.
Or do you think that a smart person like a priest would be so confused that he can't even tell whether the other person is an 'external god' or not? ”
After Albert expressed his opinion with great meaning, Yu Siqi had begun to shake his trust in the priest a little because of this.
Yes, if that's Albert's words. It is not difficult to see that the priest's handling of this matter is indeed somewhat unreasonable. Even more exaggerated, it is not unreasonable to interpret the priest's behavior as 'deliberate concealment'. ’
When Yu Siqi thought of this, he found that the priest's status in his heart was not as tall as in the past.
"So you mean, the priest deliberately didn't tell me about the 'outer gods'?"
Yu Siqi asked with a heavy heart.
"No, I have a better point of view, I just don't know if you can accept it."
Albert looked at Yu Siqi and said.
"It's all come to this, what else is there to accept. Unless you want to tell me that the priest has been doing me harm, I don't think anything else can hit me. ”
As soon as Yu Siqi finished speaking, Albert immediately corrected his statement: "No, no, I have no intention of accusing the priest. I can assure you that the priest himself certainly has no intention of harming you. In fact, he cares more about your well-being than anyone I've ever met.
Of course, too much concern will inevitably lead to something that is not quite 'right'. For example, it is reasonable to deliberately hide some information from you that is more likely to cause worries and concerns. ”
Albert's words, although they sounded a bit like saying good things for the priest, did help Yu Siqi to alleviate some of the 'not very good thoughts' he had about the priest at the moment.
"Let's get back to the previous topic. In fact, the so-called 'external gods' are literally understood as 'foreign gods'. Some of them arrived in this world through more advanced means of movement, while others were 'invited' to come here, like the 'demons' who are often remembered by all kinds of mystery lovers, and are summoned every day.
However, no matter what method they came, their own abilities and means, they could indeed be given the word 'god'.
That's why it came to be called an 'outer god'.
In fact, there is a large part of the reason for this, in order to make it easier to distinguish between the native gods and the outsiders. ”
Albert's explanation allowed Yu Siqi to understand a lot of things he didn't know, which can be regarded as helping him and further solving a lot of confusion in his heart.
"According to you, it turns out that what the priest prays for every day is not an illusory existence! I thought that the god he was talking about was just a concept that people had sung about. ”
Yu Siqi looked down at his feet slightly, and happened to see a few small stones, so he picked them up one by one and threw them away.
"Then all I can say is that you're taking it for granted." Albert looked at the current time again and said, "Ah, time flies so fast. I actually talked to you for almost an hour before I knew it! ”
"Wait, isn't Shengjia coming to pick us up?"
Yu Siqi still remembered the conversation he had with Shengjia before, so he asked casually.
"Yes, she'll pick us up somewhere. After all, there is one more important thing that the two of us need to work together to accomplish. ”
Albert stood up and stretched his limbs.
"What's the matter?"
Yu Siqi looked at him and asked.
"Of course, it's 'recruitment'. Didn't I tell you before that we were seriously short of troops? Now, of course, it's time to solve this problem. ”
Albert had a natural look on his face, as if he was talking to someone about the weather today.
"Where can you get troops at this time?"
Yu Siqi also stood up and asked.
"In this land, there was once a group of exiles who were banished into the wilderness for various reasons. Actually, you've seen them before, they're the Nightfolks. ”
Albert pointed at Yu Siqi and said.
"I don't have a good relationship with them."
Yu Siqi's statement is actually a very euphemistic description. If you really want to describe it according to the actual situation, they have already seen each other several times.
"You don't have to worry about this, I don't have a good relationship with them."
Albert clapped his hands, saying he didn't have to worry too much about that.
"Let two people with a very bad relationship go to the rescuers, if I can't really understand the situation of your mistress now, I might think that her brain is broken!"
Yu Siqi complained about this practice in a slightly ridiculous way.
"No way, that's probably what people often say - no choice."
After Albert said this, he casually removed the barrier that had been hanging over their heads.
Then, a white light streaked across the night sky, and the surroundings of Siqi were completely lit up.
When the slightly dazzling light dissipated, Shengjia appeared in the middle of the two of them on time, and asked Albert in a very indifferent tone: "I'll ask you one last time, Albert." Is it really necessary to risk a plan that has a 10% success rate no matter how you calculate it? ”
"I should have told you, Saint. Sometimes, if you get too caught up in the so-called 'calculations', you will often miss out on opportunities. Besides, I think with his help, I will be able to convince those displaced people. ”
Albert said confidently.
"Since you are so confident, then I will not deliberately pour cold water on you. But the ugly thing is ahead, if something goes wrong, you'd better not think about asking me to help.
I think it's a lot more fun to watch you mess around than to wipe your ass. ”
Shengjia said so bluntly, 'I won't help', it really didn't leave any shame.
"Well, it's up to you, Shengjia."
Albert was also so happy that he didn't try to fight for anything.
"So... Please stand firm. ”
Shengjia named the two of them by name, and then let two pillars of light fall from the sky to envelop them in it.
With a flash of white light, Yu Siqi and Albert were sent away.
When Shengjia herself was about to leave, William's voice rang out beside her: "Are you really going to watch them hit a wall?" ”
"I don't need you to worry about this kind of thing, go and tidy up the room, and that friend of yours will use it later."
Although Shengjia expressed her dissatisfaction, her gaze stayed for a moment where the two disappeared.
